President, Americans for Tax Reform. Father of two young ladies.
They have no idea what’s coming. 1. We’re going to have fun doing it. 2. They are not ready for the power of agents. 3. This is going to be unlike any campaign anyone has ever seen. PS: You never want to be up against someone who is having fun 😘 fndtns.org/advocate/
New York Gov Kathy Hochul is begging wealthy people who have moved to Florida and Texas to come back to New York and pay taxes. 🤣 "I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state. Now, there are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. OK, cut me the checks if you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home." "I have to look at the fact that we are in competition with other states who have less of a tax burden on their corporations and their individuals. And I would say remote work changed everything." "There were people who could only work in an office in Manhattan and work in New York state. And they were captives to our state, they were going to stay. We saw that that's not the case. Wall Street businesses looking at Texas, they're not going there because they have a nicer governor. They're going there because of the tax rate."
Systems should be judged by results, not promises.
House Republicans would like to invite @NHHouseDems to Ways and Means on April 15th. If you really oppose income tax like your leadership claims, this is your opportunity to prove it. Your voting records say one thing. Your leadership says another. Time to face the truth.
These 15 superintendents in Texas make more than the President. Harlandale: $627k Barbers Hill: $513k Killeen: $508k Cy-Fair: $496k Lake Travis: $468k Houston:$462k Garland:$457k Crowley:$453k Ysleta:$451k La Joya:$441k Ft Bend:$438k Tomball:$431k Katy:$426k Klein:$421k NW:$404k
If Europe had expanded nuclear energy rather than stupidly phasing it out (looking at you, Germany), it could have closed down all coal plants by now, slashed gas imports, and cut emissions by an additional ~21%. Why didn't it do so? Ideology, that's why. Anti-nuclear greens have caused MORE harm to the climate than climate denialists. Analysis by @RogerPielkeJr. rogerpielkejr.substack.com/p/how-europe-u…
35 years after throwing off the yoke of Communism, Poland becomes the world's 20th largest economy. The warmth of capitalism is lifting an entire nation out of poverty. apnews.com/article/poland…
Politics is a serious business and one should not lower the tone unduly, so I will say only this of the Liberal Democrat symbol and of the party it symbolises: This is an ex-parrot. It is not merely stunned, it has ceased to be, expired, and gone to meet its Maker. It is a parrot no more. It has rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is a late parrot.
"There is no moral distinction between the act of a pickpocket and the progressive income tax." — Leonard Read
NO Sales Tax. Not now. NOT EVER!
